Amir to Darwish Rasooli, out Caught by Mushfiqur!! That's a peach of a delivery by Amir.

Rahim leaps and takes a fantastic catch behind the wickets as the Challengers lose their second wicket. Darwish Rasooli c Mushfiqur b Amir 3(9)

Mortaza to Darwish Rasooli, out Mehedi Maruf Run Out!! Superb throw that! Darwish Rasooli had steered this to backward point and the non-striker had left his crease.

Mehedi Maruf run out (Zakir Hasan) 11(14) [6s-1]

Mortaza to Mehedi Maruf, SIX, stand and deliver! Gets hold of this length ball and thumps it right over the bowler's head for half-a-dozen. That shall give Mehedi Maruf some confidence
